Chapter 277 Talking about Marriage
The couple was scolded like they were grandsons, and they felt extremely exhausted when they walked out of the old house.
Mu Qinglian was unwilling and aggrieved. She was about to call Xiao Jinlin with tears in her eyes, but Xiao Bai held her back and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Qinglian shouted excitedly, "I just want to ask him, what do I mean to him? Since we are hosting my future father-in-law and his family, why did he inform the second wife but hide it from his own parents? Does he not want to recognize us anymore?"
Xiao Bai snorted unhappily, "I think he really doesn't want to recognize us if he can! Mom and Dad have made it clear enough, Jinlin and Guo Lingyue are incompatible. If you call him now and he mentions Guo Lingyue, how will you respond?
If he asks you to kick Guo Lingyue out of the house, what will you do? If you can't do it, don't go to him to blame him! Ask him in a nice tone what his plan is, and do what he wants. That child will be soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. "
Because of Xiao Bai's dissuasion, Mu Qinglian finally did not make the call.
When Xiao Jinchen came home from get off work, he learned that Mu Qinglian was crying in the room. He went over to take a look and only then did he know that Xiao Jinlin was going to get married.
He secretly clenched his fists and looked at Mu Qinglian, "Mom, Lingyue was indeed wrong in the beginning, and we are too embarrassed to face my brother and Miss Chen. So, Lingyue and I will move out, and you can let my brother move back. This will be good for everyone."
Mu Qinglian cried even harder, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are also my son. How can I drive my other son out of the house for my own son? Your grandparents mean that this marriage must be completed. Your wife has just given birth to a child, so she doesn't need to show up. Leave the rest to us elders."
Mu Qinglian expressed it very vaguely, but Xiao Jinchen understood what his grandparents meant. They clearly didn't like Guo Lingyue.
Because the evidence was still there and he had watched the surveillance video at the time, even if he had any opinions in his mind, he had no right to speak out and could only nod and assure himself.
Seeing her eldest son like this, Mu Qinglian felt uncomfortable. Just as the child started crying again, Xiao Jinchen left in a hurry.
Mu Qinglian felt that Guo Lingyue couldn't even take care of a child, and became increasingly dissatisfied with her.
Guo Lingyue didn't know what was going on outside. When she saw Xiao Jinchen coming back, she quickly handed the child to her, frowning, "Jinchen, do you think we should ask grandpa and grandma for help? My mother's family said there is a Chinese medicine expert who can cure any disease as long as he helps."
Xiao Jinchen hesitated, "Let's wait and see. The child has an immune system problem, which should be related to genes. No matter how powerful Chinese medicine is, can it treat genetic diseases?"
Traditional Chinese medicine has been severely suppressed in recent years. Xiao Jinchen has been exposed to Western medicine since he was a child and does not believe in traditional Chinese medicine at all.
Guo Lingyue was about to cry, "But I went to all the hospitals, big and small, and Western medicine couldn't cure it at all."
She wanted to say something else, but Xiao Jinchen interrupted her impatiently, "Stop struggling. It's more practical to take good care of the child and not let him get sick."
Guo Lingyue was about to collapse. "I want to take good care of her, but she cries all the time and doesn't eat well. I've changed nannies one after another. I'm almost exhausted. I've been coaxing her day and night. My arms are still sore. What can I do? Woo woo woo."
As much as she had been looking forward to this child before, she was as afraid of it now. This child was simply sent by God to torture her.
Xiao Jinchen pursed his lips. Not wanting to face such a wife, he simply took the child away.
After coaxing the child for about half an hour, he calmed down.
Because of the child, Xiao Jinchen didn't have any extra thoughts to think about Xiao Jinlin.
Within two days, the old couple of the Xiao family took the initiative to invite Chen Wenjun and his wife to visit them, and at the same time called Zhao Dongling, Xiao Bai and his wife, as well as the second son and his wife to the old house to formally discuss marriage.
He Xue hadn't seen Mu Qinglian for a while. She was shocked to see how haggard she looked and how even thick foundation couldn't cover the dark bags under her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Mu Qinglian smiled reluctantly, "No, it's because of my granddaughter. The older the child gets, the harder it is to take care of her. She has to go to the hospital every few days. We've had more than a dozen nannies, but none of them lasted more than a few days. The longest one lasted only half a month, and we have to take care of her ourselves.
Just two days ago, the child got a little windy and sneezed, and he had a fever that night. The whole family was in a turmoil, and I didn’t sleep well for two days.”
Speaking of my granddaughter Mu Qinglian, I have so much grievances to complain about that I can't finish.
He Xue couldn't empathize with the others, but she didn't want to say anything too harsh, so she just listened indifferently and occasionally agreed with them.
After a while, Chen Wenjun came over with his wife and daughter Lin Yi, and Mu Qinglian diverted her attention.
From a quick glance she knew that the Chen family was in business, but after talking to Lin Qin for a few sentences, she discovered that Lin Qin's style was more institutionalized, and she couldn't help but become curious.
He Xue took the initiative to explain to her, "My sister Qin founded E Society when she was in college, which is now E Society Media. After graduation, she worked at a local TV station. She has done very well in her career."
Lin Qin glanced at her in reproach, "How can it be as good as you say!"
"Don't be so modest!" He Xue blocked her mouth harshly.
It's obvious that the two have a very good relationship.
With He Xue and Zhao Dongling around, Mu Qinglian dared not underestimate the Chen family, and the marriage negotiations went particularly smoothly.
After Lin Qin and the other two left the capital, Chen Xinyue was still a little dazed, and complained to Xiao Jinlin: "How long have I agreed to date you? How come we are already settled?"
Xiao Jinlin patted her head lovingly and said with a smile, "I still think it's too slow! According to uncle and auntie's wishes, we will be engaged before the New Year and get married in February next year, which is still a few months away."
He counted with his slender fingers, but he was still not satisfied.
Chen Xinyue was completely speechless.
In order to give Chen Xinyue a grand engagement ceremony, Xiao Jinlin handled his private matter in a public manner for the first time and called several senior executives of the company to a meeting while Chen Xinyue was out.
The marketing manager looked at the planning director in confusion, then glanced at the HR manager and the administrative director, and finally his eyes fell on the secretarial department heads Li Dehua and Tang Ming.
Others' reactions were also confused.
Xiao Jinlin walked in and sat down. He coughed twice, and was a little embarrassed. "The main reason I asked you to come here today is for the engagement ceremony between me and Secretary Chen. I hope you can come up with a plan. Funding is not a problem. The more grand and solemn the ceremony, the better. But the premise is that it cannot be extravagant."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Tang Ming was the first to react. He clenched his fists in excitement and leaned forward, "Boss, has your family agreed?"
"What else?" Xiao Jinlin said a little arrogantly.
Tang Ming suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up. "Great, boss. Don't worry. We will discuss it right now and will definitely work out a plan that will satisfy you. Do you have any other instructions?"
Xiao Jinlin shook his head.
As soon as he left, the conference room exploded, and everyone lowered their heads and ran around in the QQ group to tell each other what had happened.
"I have an important news for you all. The boss and Secretary Chen are getting engaged."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
